No, but there is a version for notebooks...

Ok, let's step back and understand that there are 2 chips that will become the Intel Core 2 Duo: Conroe and Merom. Conroe isn't going into notebooks, Merom is and should ship in August I believe. So while in August you'll see mention of Intel Core 2 Duo notebooks these aren't quite the same as the desktop version but are marketed under the same name. Hopefully that isn't too confusing.

Regards,
JB
